Owen, someone from BMD may give you a better answer. It seems to happen in the background where the forum software can pick up the attachment or image or url without issues and so it imbedded it. There are size limitations or password protection (and perhaps codec limitations) so that some links are embedded and others just point to the source. It could be related to the number of your posts as well, but I’m just speculating on the rationale.

On the BMCuser forum, I recall you can specifically add a [video][/video] control versus the url control. I don’t see that distinction here though. Beginners can’t do everything until they’ve made enough simple text posts—a security feature I suppose to prevent being flooded with spam.

The controls you have may be defined by the browser you use. I’m using Tapatalk much of the time so the controls can be explicitly made. See if your browser has a video control. Or manually enter the controls when you post.

Thanks, Owen. Just found out today that client wants me to do the photography as well as the videography for their next theatrical release next week. I’m may use the URSA Mini 4.6K with SLR Magic APO primes, shooting uncompressed raw in 2.4:1 for that ‘stills’ assignment. The photography shoot is during the dress rehearsal and videography the next day, ProRes 444 DCI 2K or HD with the Fujinon Cine Zoom, when they premiere the performance. Let’s hope lightning strikes twice and I get another painterly result.

Couple of still frame exports from some footage I shot on the P4K at the Austin F1 this weekend. Quick grade on laptop in hotel, will sort properly when back in the UK. Camera was a joy to use, battery life acceptable and screen fine even in the bright sunshine!

I had noticed every black seemed a little brown. Infrared pollution doesn’t usually affect every black (all clothes, the car tires, the phone or communications gear), so I thought it might be a combination of tint/temperature or a colour cast. Looking at in post should h op determine the source.

You lucky chap! That was the most exciting F1 race I watched on mere TV for quite some time. The images in Capture One look pretty good indeed.

Wow, gorgeous. Can you tell more about how you achieved this? (lens, grade) Nice choice of scene.

Thanks Owen. Earlier in the week I borrowed several EF L series lenses and could not tell the difference in quality with a couple of cheaper EF-s lenses I had so I bought a used Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom for less than $300 bucks on Amazon. This was all shot with that lens. Too much vignetting at 200mm but more useful to me than lugging around the 70-200 2.8 on occasions like these. Monopod to help stabilize. There is plenty of 2k 120fps footage intercut which I was surprised held up so well against the 4.6k res stuff. Everything shot RAW 3:1. Don’t see why so many people shoot prores with this camera given all the benefits of RAW in post, but BMRAW is starting to change that.

Grading wise it’s the v4 BM Film profile with the standard Kodak 2383 LUT that comes with resolve. I think there are a couple shots with Juan Melara’s Linny LUT in there too.

This is a mood board video I shot last Sunday. It is for a crime thriller I am developing. Thought it might be interesting so some people here. Basically, we didn't use anything apart from the URSA Mini 4.6K, a small Aputuretech light (AL-M9) and DaVinci Resolve 15.1.

Coming soon… a model shoot with the URSA Mini 4.6K Classic. Shot in CinemaDNG RAW 4:1 4.6K 2.4:1. Still wish I could have done it with Blackmagic Raw. Yet, the footage still came out looking great. Can’t wait to share.

Thank you for the input, Rick! At this point the edit is locked on this version. However, I do have a 1-minute Instagram version I'll be cutting this weekend during my free time. I'll probably put that shot at the end for that cut.

Hey all! I finished up my recent cinematography reel. This was almost exclusively shot on BMD cameras, although there are a few others from my EARLY early career with a T2i, and maybe some others (can't remember). Vast majority is Ursa Mini Pro, and then some Cinema Camera.

Received my P4K yesterday. Decided to test its "run-n-gun" abilities in a Target store. No strange looks, no management kicking me out -- very successful. And a bonus low-light shot, all done at 400 ISO!youtu.be/qjvDK_oNTGw

Timbutt2, I think you’ve helped bring out the best in a very relaxed yet engaging young model who is completely comfortable with you behind the camera. She must be happy with that result. Suspect you’ll see more of her.

Thanks Rick! She is very happy with the result. We're already talking about the next video. Since I shot CinemaDNG RAW 4:1 on this one, I'm holding out hope that the next one can be done in Blackmagic RAW.
